45 will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system

112 The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
113 references from one section to another section.
114 Linux will during link or during runtime drop some sections
115 and any use of code/data previously in these sections will
116 most likely result in an oops.
117 In the code functions and variables are annotated with
118 __init, __devinit etc. (see full list in include/linux/init.h)
Geert Uytterhoevend6fbfa42008-01-30 11:13:23 +0100119 which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
120 The section mismatch analysis is always done after a full
121 kernel build but enabling this option will in addition
Sam Ravnborg91341d42008-01-21 21:31:44 +0100122 do the following:
123 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc
124 When inlining a function annotated __init in a non-init
Geert Uytterhoevend6fbfa42008-01-30 11:13:23 +0100125 function we would lose the section information and thus
Sam Ravnborg91341d42008-01-21 21:31:44 +0100126 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
Geert Uytterhoevend6fbfa42008-01-30 11:13:23 +0100127 This option tells gcc to inline less but will also
Sam Ravnborg91341d42008-01-21 21:31:44 +0100128 result in a larger kernel.

Sam Ravnborg91341d42008-01-21 21:31:44 +0100132 introduced.
133 Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
134 will tell where the mismatch happens much closer to the
135 source. The drawback is that we will report the same
136 mismatch at least twice.

477 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
478 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
479 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
480 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
481 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
482 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
483 deadlock.
484
485 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
486 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
487
488 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
489 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
490 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
491 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
492 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
493 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
494 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
495 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
496 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
497
498 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
499 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
500 kernel reports nothing.
501
502 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
503 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
504 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
505 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
506 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

999 help
1000 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1001 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1002 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1003 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1004 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1005
1006 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1007 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1008 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1009
1010 Usage:
1011
1012 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1013 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1014
1015 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1016 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1017 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1018 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1019
1020 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1021 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
